| Date | Date/time | birthDate |

| createdAt | Date | Creation timestamp |
| updatedAt | Date | Last update timestamp |

**Important**: bkend uses `id` (NOT `_id`) in all API responses.

## MCP Table Management Tools

| Tool | Purpose | Scope |
|------|---------|-------|
| `backend_table_create` | Create table | table:create |
| `backend_table_list` | List tables | table:read |
| `backend_table_get` | Get table detail + schema | table:read |
| `backend_table_delete` | Delete table | table:delete |
| `backend_field_manage` | Add/modify/delete fields | table:update |
| `backend_index_manage` | Manage indexes | table:update |
| `backend_schema_version_list` | Schema version history | table:read |
| `backend_schema_version_get` | Schema version detail | table:read |
| `backend_schema_version_apply` | Apply schema version (rollback) | table:update |
| `backend_index_version_list` | Index version history | table:read |
| `backend_index_version_get` | Index version detail | table:read |

## MCP Data CRUD Tools

| Tool | Purpose | Key Parameters |
|------|---------|----------------|
| `backend_data_list` | List records (filter, sort, paginate) | tableId, page?, limit?, sortBy?, sortDirection?, andFilters?, orFilters? |
| `backend_data_get` | Get single record | tableId, recordId |
| `backend_data_create` | Create record | tableId, data: { field: value } |
| `backend_data_update` | Partial update record | tableId, recordId, data: { field: value } |
| `backend_data_delete` | Delete record | tableId, recordId |

All Data CRUD tools require: organizationId, projectId, environmentId (from `get_context`).

### Filter Operators

| Operator | Meaning | Example |
|----------|---------|---------|
| `$eq` | Equal | `{ "status": { "$eq": "active" } }` |
| `$ne` | Not equal | `{ "role": { "$ne": "admin" } }` |
| `$gt` / `$gte` | Greater than / >= | `{ "age": { "$gt": 18 } }` |
| `$lt` / `$lte` | Less than / <= | `{ "price": { "$lt": 100 } }` |
| `$in` / `$nin` | In / Not in array | `{ "tag": { "$in": ["a","b"] } }` |

## MCP Guide Docs (via search_docs)

Use `search_docs` tool to access these guides:

| Doc ID | Content |
|--------|---------|
| `4_howto_implement_data_crud` | CRUD implementation patterns |
| `7_code_examples_data` | CRUD + file upload code examples |

Use `get_operation_schema` to get any tool's input/output schema.

## REST Data API

| Method | Endpoint | Description |
|--------|----------|-------------|
| GET | /v1/data/{table} | List (filter, sort, page, limit) |
| POST | /v1/data/{table} | Create |
| GET | /v1/data/{table}/{id} | Get single |
| PATCH | /v1/data/{table}/{id} | Partial update |
| DELETE | /v1/data/{table}/{id} | Delete |

## Filtering

- Text search: `?search=keyword`
- AND filter: `?filter[field1]=value1&filter[field2]=value2`
- Comparison operators: `$eq`, `$ne`, `$gt`, `$gte`, `$lt`, `$lte`, `$in`, `$nin`
- Sort: `?sort=field:asc` (or desc)
- Pagination: `?page=1&limit=20` (default 20, max 100)

## Relations & Joins

- Configure table relationships
- Join queries for related data retrieval

## Index Management

- Single/compound index creation
- Manage via MCP `backend_index_manage`
- Essential for query performance optimization
